Got my new AARP monthly magazine today and Sharon Osbourne was on the cover and the topic was weight loss surgery and how it helps people who have medical problems. They only talked about the bypass and the sleeve. I plan on writing a response concerning the VSG. I didn't know Sharon had had it. She looks good now (of course she has had some plastic surgery as well).

I think you men bypass and band- no sleeve mentioned. I was annoyed about that. In addition, they said she had the band and she had the bypass! There were lots of other inaccuracies about food regimens afterwards, etc. I was happy to see the cover feature and then very disappointed in the article.

Did she have gastric bypass after the band? Everything I'd heard (which I admit is very limited info) was that she had the band but later had it removed. Did she have a conversion over to R-n-Y? I just did a quick check and found two articles that said the same. I had no idea she was once 100 pounds overweight.

Aside from seeing an interview with her about a year ago when she talked about having the band removed I don't know that much about her. I think sometimes I'm lucky that I don't have cable.

I stand corrected- I have always heard she had a bypass- I think I also did not realize they had been doing bands for that long! I wonder why she had it removed?

Probably the same reason all of the rest of us had it removed. Bands suck.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
